Anyone knows where to get Cherry Red Shrimp and Siamese Algae Eater? been looking around from around Klang to Jalan Sungai Buloh but don't see any of the LFS selling...

Also anyone know how to remove the black looking algae that stick hard on the aquarium glass after few days of applying Iron supplement? it is driving me crazy... tried algae remover... but several ghost shrimp and chinese algae eater down might be due to algae poisoning.....

ciohbu: NA subang = northern area subang? Aquatic International?.... tried to go there but came back half way because trying to familiarize the place first. Didn't really see AI cause didn't know that i need to enter some small passage only i can find AI. Order online.. is it reliable? ok i'll try post it after i figure out how to upload it on some place.. hehehe... still new in posting photos...

sisaiko: I did, I even use the green sponge.. the coarse type that we use to wash the dish... i'm using it and scratch it like crazy... not only the algae survive.... I even get some free scratched mark on the aquarium

ciohbu & sisaiko: See all those brown looking spots around the aqurium glass?? the major one is the patch.... been like that about 1 week + growing slowly... compare to that day i dump in iron supplement.... BTW from eye view those are dark blue/ black/ dark green.... don't know how to describe.. just the color looks like chinese ink...

Thanks, just checked i think it is Green Spot Algae not Diatom. Will try credit card to scratch it off tomorrow and see what will happen..

Problem is i heard otto might not be able to help... and some of my fish like CAE and rasbora might either cause stress or kill it.....

Hahaha.. Thanks for the advice bro. I'm looking forward to get those 3 "legendary helper" but it seems all the LFS i went either not selling or need to book.... not to mention they don't know when the stock will arrive. It is like so near yet so far..... still haven't been to AI yet... went to few LFS around Jalan Sungai Buloh but all of them not selling any of them or sold out..



Also the green spot algae seem to stuck on my mirror... can't come out after using credit card... might need to use razor blade... hehehe

i'm still hunting for SAE.. will be heading AI soon, still looking of way to venture there. My bro-in-law told me the road is rough, and around the cornering of the Subang Airport... been there several time but didn't notice got any small road or not... might head there this coming weekend to find SAE. Hope i don't miss the cornering... .. 1 more plant tank is coming soon, stock piling all the plants ... hehehe..


2 feet aquazonic i think around RM80~100 kua... not very sure cause i was looking for 76+CM or 2.5 feet lighting, so I flip the 60+cm lighting and only know around RM80~100.. I might mistaken about it...

Wei Jie you have any 76+CM or 2.5 feet lighting? If you do please send to my email.

Thanks bro,
Aiya....wasted.. i'm going with my wife to see doc this Sunday morning will be back around 3pm... so can't join and also can't follow need to become pink panther, if not my wife sure screw me if i go aquarium again hehehe.... got warning today after i bought a full set 1 feet aquarium for my CRS .. scare she throw away all my stuff, hahahaha... need to wait for the storm calm down first before going fish hunting again hehehe... but don't worry about the item, will get from you first before all hell break lose ..

Where is it ? the whole jalan kapar stretch so long... can give specific name of that shop or what junction? cause i found 1 Airgaz around lebuhraya selat klang or old shapadu highway for old people. Haven't refill before but trying to know the prices before going to refill

Your forget to check for ammonia, but the best thing is try to rinse it or put your plants at 1 spare tank "nothing inside just for cleaning purpose" for 1 day then only put it to the main tank... did what you did last time end up 3 RCS, 2 at day 1 and 1 at second day same anubias plant..... reason could be either copper or ammonia spike from the plant (notice some soil at the driftwood?)... just rinse in if you prefer to see the plant in the tank than idle around

Not sure why everyone having dead fish... but i tried this method... bit cruel but my fish is running here and there like crazy.

Before setting new tank try put all your fish in confined place.. like an arcylic "not sure i spell it right or not." tank which isn't bigger than 1 feet.. if you have moss or what ever plant that can help you ++ O2 or oxygen (try Anacharis (Egeria densa)) heard you can just snap it into 2 and throw it into the tank just schedule the timing when your tank should be ready... i did it within 3 days after i throw in ADA soil on the big tank, the important thing is you need to match "the ammonia at the arcylic tank and the new setup tank" also.. I did around 5-10 times water change during the 3 days period to lower the ammonia.. didn't count it the exact time i did the water change. However, the ammonia was at 0.5ppm when the last... er.. third time i change but it hit back up to 2ppm after a while... and it happen on my last second and last water change. I got headache and tested my "arcylic tank with fish" for ammonia level for my last resort..(anxious to move back the fishes)... was shock when i saw the result, it hit 4ppm. The last thing came into my mind is why is don't i throw them into the new tank since the new tank is lower... All fish survive for 3 days already.. 2 croaking gourami, and 6 red tailed-rasbora and 3 SAE. You can try but i can't guarantee the same result, my advice is try use the test kit more often... might be expensive sometime it worth the hassle

Anyone rear shrimp + guppy here? if i put "baby guppy" with "shrimplet" will there be any casualty? just put some newborn baby guppy at my RCS tank and my shrimplet about to come out.... so i'm afraid the shrimplet might get eaten by baby guppy before i know it... does the shrimplet even fit into the baby guppy mouth?

Haha the problem is the java moss in my tank is growing like snail, might be due to low lighting. But it shouldn't be any problem because i heard java doesn't require much light. ... Having CO2 and some soil, should be any problem. Just recently got "white algae" outbreak, thought it was snail eggs but nothing hatch and the white algae just grow bigger and bigger if untouch. Oto and shrimp don't even touch it, not sure what it is but i think the plants don't like it because some plant grow slower or no new shoot around the white algae patch...

When going to those places try go in group, scare unwanted things might happen, just be careful.. I heard from my brother in law he got a lot of those Egeria Densa or some call Anacharis. It is free and if rotten you can just feed to cichlids, hehehe. Just wash it before putting it into your aquarium, might have a lot of unwanted object or creature, especially nymph.....

Can try AI, saw Congo tetras 2 weeks ago but not sure they still have it or not...


Nice tank Booby,

Usermode, what is the ceramic thing for? is it the thing stabilize the water hardiness or PH in the water to 7? as what rock or stone does....

Thanks, learned new thing

What i can say is if you are planning to change to CO2 tank after boring with DIY or you have the money to invest, that is a very good bubble counter. can be reused after you planning for CO2. Slightly expensive compare to other bubble counters but it is a good gadget to invest little bit more money for. 1 thing, no need to worry about the water inside no leakage and water remain for 3 months if i'm releasing 1-2 bps ..

Anyone have ADA soil Amazonia to sell?? care to pm?
